Synopsis – Housewife Next Door
I thought she was perfect. Until her daughter told me about the little girl in the garden…
I was jealous of my perfect new neighbor SarahBeth. Six tow-headed children, blackberry pies bubbling in the oven, married to and still holding hands with her high-school sweetheart Burt. She was the perfect housewife, the best mom.
Until I found out the truth. When tragedy strikes and SarahBeth’s dying daughter tells me about the little girl buried in their garden my heart freezes. Now I understand why SarahBeth has been so unfriendly to me. Why her kids have been kept out of school. Why nobody has seen the family in town for two years.
I must learn the truth, to keep her children safe. But I’ve met people like SarahBeth in my own dark past. I’ve told lies, kept secrets, buried bodies. And I know SarahBeth will do whatever it takes to keep her secret hidden…
A completely addictive and unputdownable read that will have you turning pages late into the night. Perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, Jeneva Rose and Gone Girl.
My Review
The Housewife Next Door by LynDee Walker
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I read in another review that this book was connected to the authors other book, The Pastor’s Wife. I made no such connection which lets you know both books can be read and enjoyed as standalone stories.
This is not necessarily a fast moving thriller. It’s much more character than plot driven and I did enjoy getting to know the different characters. Some of the twists were clearer and some truly did come as a surprise.
I enjoyed this story and look forward to reading more by this author.
